Hey all - I'm strongly considering Pulm/CC. I really enjoy the medicine of it, but I know I may also just be bright-eyed right now and maybe just love the IBCC podcast too much bahaha. Reading and hearing about crit care from more seasoned folks usually results in them describing how tired and burned out they are.
What do you consider the factors to this burnout, how do you/would you mitigate them? When looking for jobs what do you look for to reduce these factors? I'm personally interested in working in an academic center in a major city (I'm from NYC). However, I'd be willing to reconsider this if there are "healthier" options I should be considering.
Thanks!
P.S. - I know there are threads on this already, but the last decent one (more than 2 posts heh) was from 2016 and things change and the people here today may provide different insight than those then.
